Blending tradition with innovation, the Persian Empire Distillery offers a diverse range of crafted spirits that reflect the richness of Persian heritage. As Ontario's second craft distillery, they specialize in unique flavors like pomegranate and coffee-aged liquors, alongside their signature Arak Saggi, a traditional Persian spirit. With a legacy spanning four generations, their commitment to quality and flavor sets them apart.
The reviews highlight the friendly and knowledgeable staff, unique and tasty products like Saggi, coconut rum, and coffee rum, along with the store's royal ambiance and convenient snack options.
We had not been here before but after our visit today we both agreed it's a visit-again place! Mark is definitely the person you want to talk to there. He gave fascinating descriptions of some of their libations, like the Saggi, as well as tastes (hubby, not me!) and instructions on how best to enjoy them. He is just so very affable a salesman!
The distillery offers convenient payment options, including credit and debit cards, and NFC. It features free parking in a lot and on the street, with full wheelchair accessibility, including parking, entrance, restrooms, and seating areas.

As a long person who has enjoyed Malibu for a long time I can honestly say as long as you are making this product I will never purchase Malibu again. I'm on my 5th bottle and am never looking back. Im also on my second bottle of your coffee rum and do enjoy it mixed with some milk or into coffee.(Only thing I've tried mixing with YET). Keep up the good work!",
